Ask Steve a question. / Re: dark wood ... what?
« on: November 30, 2011, 11:25:06 am »If so, try to use a cloth to apply the stain, that's much easier than using a brush.
you explain better?
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: dark wood ... what?
« on: November 30, 2011, 11:23:39 am »I believe that the dark wood Steve uses is walnut.
I do not remember if I had already written to Steve, but did not give me no answer, we recommend that inhere in the video or pdf in the type of wood used and the type of blade used, this should help beginners like me!
Tomorrow I'm going to take the nut and try to make a keychain!
But it remains hard as walnut wood??

Ask Steve a question. / dark wood ... what?
« on: November 30, 2011, 06:23:13 am »
Hello everyone,
I may have found a carpenter's shop where they have almost all types of timber veneer, dark wood that I wanted to ask can I take to achieve the key with the software of Steve? I tried to take the mahogany but it is too hard and then carving is a smooth, glossy mottled ... unsightly, and in any case too hard.
What could I take? Steve uses it as a dark wood??

« on: October 16, 2011, 02:24:30 pm »Hay Dav, TripleB explained it well. It is a matter of taste what works for you. For me, I like a more natural look rather than stain. The oil will bring out the color and grain of most woods. Maple and BB are not one of those. Walnut and Cherry defiantly are enhanced by oil, In my opinion.
To get to best effect, I soak my projects in a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. I use old metal baking pans for this. let it soak for ten to twenty minutes. Then drain off, and then wipe off the excess oil. Let dry for at least 24 hours, then you can top coat. I use Deft semi gloss spray lacquer.
Hello dgman,
you are the last hope for me. I am here in Italy and I can not find the products you like. Today I shot half of Rome has been able to find just that. Do you think are good? If you like, and I use them?

but there is no one who could do me the courtesy to send me? I would pay in advance via pay pal.

« on: October 14, 2011, 10:40:24 am »The simplest way would be to DIP it in Danish Oil, let it drip dry and spray off excess with air.
Rub it down after the oil dries!
~~~GB~~~
not believe it but in the country bal ... there is no one who has this Danish Mo! Even know what we talk about it much less water-based fixatives.
Is there anyone from Europe who knows where to buy online?

Hello mrsn,
I am here in Italy and the only thing I could find was a soluble powder to be dissolved in hot water teak color. I tried to immerse the key and does not seem a good result. Then they gave me a clear acrylic spray paint and I still try to use it ...
But you, and Steve gl'altri what you use?? Airbrush?? These are things that I find to abandon Italy??
Someone from Germany that can tell me a place online to buy?
